Rotarians Thank All for a Record Setting “Making Spirits Bright.

SHEBOYGAN, WI — January 12, 2018 We wish to pay tribute to so many who made our sixth year a huge success. We had a record setting 23,300 vehicles visit the park and Sheboygan County Food Pantry donations totaled 80,721 pounds.

Our heartfelt thanks to our loyal sponsors. Brenda Potter, at the $10,000 level, has increased her support each year to become our premier sponsor. We would also like to thank those at the $5,000 tier including Festival Foods, Rockline Industries, Grover Family Foundation, Frank G. and Frieda K. Brotz Family Foundation and Master’s Gallery Foods as well as many others who helped us surpass our $70,000 goal.

Additionally, thanks to close to 2,000 volunteers without whose assistance in many different facets we would not be able to provide this event, some in severe weather conditions. Thanks to those who visited the park providing much needed pantry items as well as cash donations that allow us to maintain and grow the lights display and our Quarry activities. Thanks also to over 80 In Kind donors, providing free or discounted services.

Last, but certainly not least, a huge thanks to our Steering Committees for their selfless time and effort all year long to ensure each year becomes a better experience.

Community Impact

Across the county, from Sheboygan to Random Lake to Plymouth and Sheboygan Falls, the food pantries, staffed by volunteers and operated by organizations such as Sheboygan County Food Bank and numerous churches, are vital to helping feed our families in need.

Sponsor/Donate

Making Spirits Bright continues to grow thanks to our generous sponsors. We are still looking for companies in Sheboygan County who would like to sponsor a holiday program that gives back. We have collected over 200,000 lbs. of pantry items for the Sheboygan County food pantries since 2012.
